Overall, we had a good stay with friendly staff, great views, and clear potential after renovations.
Pros:

The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, which really set a great tone for our stay. The waterfront views are beautiful and definitely a highlight of the property.

Our room had been nicely refreshed with updated paint and hardwood floors, which gave it a clean, modern feel. The downstairs areas are especially beautiful, and I can imagine the pool area being fantastic during the summer months.

Overall, we had a good stay and enjoyed the atmosphere and location. With the ongoing updates, this hotel has a lot of potential and will likely be even better once renovations are complete.

Cons:

The hotel is currently undergoing refurbishment, which was not mentioned online prior to our stay. While it’s great to see updates in progress, there were construction materials and work happening in some of the hallways that made parts of the hotel feel a bit cluttered.

The room itself had been updated with fresh paint and hardwood floors, but the ceiling showed some cracking, and the bed was somewhat squeaky and could benefit from an update.

There is also a noticeable marsh smell, particularly in rooms without a balcony, where there isn’t an option to open windows for fresh air. While this didn’t bother us personally, it may be something future guests would want to be aware of when booking.

Amazing place and staff horrible night because of a simple fix
Cons:

Ok amazing view and hotel..... Had the corner unit with double balcony water view. But however my stay was miserable... The person Or person's above me open the heavy sliding glass door starting around 4/5 pm and stopping around 2/3 consistently ooveer a hundred times times... Open close slam. Open close slam. I suggest with thee price that's paid for these rooms. Y'all remove these old heavy load doors and install newer light smoothly operating doors ... I will never stay here again because of this ... And honestly would probably stay once a month just because of how amazing the view is and convenience of the location is to Charleston market...
